4. READING OF THE JOURNAL

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND - Madame Clerk, are the minutes of the previous meeting transcribed and open for public viewing? (No, not quite) Okay, so we wouldn’t know if there are any additions or corrections to be made? (No) Alright, we’ll move on.

5. REMARKS OF DELEGATIONS AND CITIZENS TO MATTERS ON THE AGENDA

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – This is the part of the agenda where citizens may speak on a topic that appears on tonight’s agenda. If you would like to speak on something please come to the microphone at this time and give your name, address for the record and the topic you want to discuss at this time.

JIM HUEBNER – I’m not going to use the microphone because I have a throat infection and I don’t want…

COUNCILMAN PETERS – Well you kind of have to so it goes on the record. Just put a rag over the microphone.

JIM HUEBNER – 55 6th Street SE, Massillon, Ohio. There are two actually three things on the agenda tonight. Ordinance No. 136 and 137 regarding oil and gas development. I’m just going to ask at this point that the council follow through with the first, second and third readings on this so that the residents of Massillon and yourselves have some time to research this locations and particulars. I this past Tuesday in Columbus I appeared before the technical assistance council for oil and gas at ODNR. My property was mandatory pooled into a drilling unit for a well by the same company on 6th Street or actually the well is on Tremont Street. So I think its important that the citizens of Massillon understand that you know if they’re opposed to these wells and the industrialization of our neighborhoods that they need to get together and research out these things make sure that their rights are protected. And so I hope that the council will follow through on three readings that of those. The other one I was concerned about was and I didn’t I don’t see it on here but on the internet there was an ordinance about the sale of some property on the southeast corner of Tremont and Hess Avenue. Again, you know I’d like to be able to research that get some more information about it so I hope the council will follow through with first, second and third readings on that. Thank you.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – Thank you, Mr. Huebner.

DAVID HAYES – I’m the owner of Crockett Homes. On Ordinance No. 140 – 2013 for the platting of 10 lots off of Linda Lane. We’re presently involved with getting bids out to get the streets in. We’d like to go at a very quick pace on this because of the timing of the year and move forward as soon as possible on it. The overall view of that section of Country View is 42 lots. Was starting with 10 we have sold out all the lots in Country View. The last house was started in the older section three months ago we should be completing all the homes within close to the end of the year. So we’d like to get a new model going for 10 new lots which is just north of the park. Thank you.

RENEE BOGUE – 204 Willow Avenue NE, Massillon. Concerning Ordinances 136 and 137 I find these ordinances to use city land taxpayer owned land to be leased for gas shale drilling purposes to be in a front to Massillon taxpayers. Urban drilling regardless of whether the well is horizontal or vertical is highly pollutive. The air around these two wells will be filled with neurotoxins and carcinogens. Council was emailed the American Journal of Nursing article that outlines the health hazards of drilling. The radioactive highly toxics will left in these wells can migrate via abandoned mines, naturally occurring fissures and faults. This will have the potential to contaminate water wells and aquifers. The flow back again radioactive and highly toxic will mostly be placed in one of the two injection wells located in Perry Township with Massillon addresses. One of those wells excepts out-of-state drilling waste as well. This will can leak out of the injection wells through abandoned mines, naturally occurring fissures and faults too and could contaminate water wells and aquifers. It is imperative that all council members view the short online video The Sky Is Pink by Josh Fox. This video uses industry studies to explain how casings fail and why wells leak. The link was mail to you earlier this year and I would be happy to resend it if necessary. To pass these ordinances would be a misuse of taxpayer owned land and a breach of trust with Massillon taxpayers. I am calling for a public hearing to be held on this issue. Thank you.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – Any reports of committees? Yes, Councilman Manson?

COUNCILMAN MANSON – Yes, I just want to bring this up because I know this is going to be a hot issue. Everybody should have gotten an email probably the end of last week pertaining to the Heinz up here. We’re looking at something that’s you know amounts to like 23 million dollars over a period of I’m not exactly sure what the time period is on the 249 jobs. But it will be increasing jobs. I don’t know if anybody saw it but it was in the business section that they actually I believe in North America reduced about 1,300 jobs in various places Canada, maybe Idaho, some other states I think the Carolinas. We benefited from their these other people’s problems but I think it shows Ohio is becoming a very competitive area. This was kept was pretty quite because there are other Heinz facilities in Ohio and I think they wanted to make sure their people got the first word on what was taking place here. So we will discuss it at the next committee meeting and I know that they’re trying to talk about moving this very quickly. But we’ll just see what happens next week at committee. S if you have any questions don’t hesitate to get with Mr. Herncane if there’s something you that stands out to you and we’ll get him here at the next meeting we’ll have a discussion.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – Councilwoman Scassa?

COUNCILWOMAN SCASSA – I’ve said I won’t be at the next work session but since I’m on that committee I was very excited when we got that email and whatever legislation comes forward I mean I’ll sign off on it. I think that’s amazing and the miss or unfortunate circumstances of the other plants closing and those people losing their jobs I mean if we can bring jobs to the city in that unfortunate circumstance I think that that’s a good thing. I thank the administration and Mr. Herncane for working on that I’m sure it wasn’t an overnight deal. Like I said since I’m on that committee I will sign off on any legislation that we need to to bring that forward to get that ball rolling.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – Thank you, Councilman Manson. Do we have any resolutions or requests? Yes, Councilwoman Cunningham-Hedderly?

COUNCILWOMAN CUNNINGHAM-HEDDERLY – On the public utilities information with Everflow Eastern Partners they will be here Monday for the work session.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – Anyone else?

12. RESOLUTIONS AND REQUESTS OF COUNCIL MEMBERS

13. CALL OF THE CALENDAR - RECONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE

Amending CHAPTER 163 “RECREATION BOARD” of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Massillon, by repealing existing Subsections 163.03 “POWERS AND DUTIES”, 163.05 “PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT”, and creating a new Subsection 163.06 “GOLF ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF THE LEGENDS OF MASSILLON GOLF CLUB”, and declaring an emergency.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – Councilman Slagle?

COUNCILMAN SLAGLE – Thank you, this is being brought forth due to the mayor’s veto. This ordinance just for clarification Mr. Law Director do we just bring it forward for a vote?

LAW DIRECTOR STERGIOS – Bring it forward for a vote you need two-thirds.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – Mr. Stergios, could you come to the microphone please?

LAW DIRECTOR STERGIOS – Mr. President, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Slagle, to answer the question it takes two-thirds vote of the members to override a veto by the mayor. So that would be six, lets just bring it forward and vote on whether to override the veto.

COUNCILMAN SLAGLE – Then I move to bring it forward for a vote I think we’ve discussed it enough move on.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – I believe this ordinance will be will return back to first reading. So…

Authorizing the Director of Public Service and Safety of the City of Massillon, Ohio, to advertise for and receive sealed bids, and enter into a contract, upon award and approval of the Board of Control, with the lowest and best bidder for the construction of a salt storage structure to be located at the Department of Public Works on Walnut Road SW, in the City of Massillon, and declaring an emergency.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – Councilman Lewis?

COUNCILMAN LEWIS – Yes, last time we discussed this piece of legislation I know that there were some people in favor and some people who were a little bit more hesitant. I don’t think anyone voiced any negative comments I think everybody agrees that if we or most everyone agrees that if we’ve been sited or told by the EPA that this maybe something that we need to address that it should be something that we address at some point. However some of the discenting opinions that it may not be necessary right at this moment and its something that we can look at in the spring or summertime. This way we can assure ourselves that we have some funds maybe in the spring as other concerns come available. With that said does anyone have any questions or comments that they would like to add before we vote or this evening or would like me to call the city engineer forward to answer questions? Alright.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – Thank you, Ordinance No. 120 has been defeated.

ORDINANCE NO. 121 - 2013BY: ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTEE

Authorizing the Director of Public Service and Safety of the City of Massillon, Ohio, to advertise for and receive sealed bids, and enter into a contract, upon award and approval of the Board of Control, with the lowest and best bidder for the Genshaft Park Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project in the City of Massillon, and declaring an emergency.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – Councilman Lewis?

COUNCILMAN LEWIS – Yes, this is the project that is to be running along side and with the Genshaft Park. The idea here is that that line is in need of some repairs and with the recent donation and upgrades made to the park we would hate to see anything happen to the line that would cause future damage to that park. And that is why this particular line was chosen are there any questions or comments for discussion this evening?

Enacting a new CHAPTER 751 “CHARITABLE DONATION CONTAINERS” of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Massillon, and declaring an emergency.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – Councilwoman Halter?

COUNCILWOMAN HALTER – Thank you, Mr. President. This is the third reading for this ordinance I’ve not had any complaints or any discussion on this. I don’t know if anyone else has if anyone has any questions.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – Are there any questions for Councilwoman Halter? Okay, your motion.

COUNCILMAN CHOVAN – Thank you, we’ve discussed this for several weeks now. I’ve given you reasons why I think its important that when we have a council meeting we are set up as we are now. You know doesn’t mean other people in the administration or any other department can not speak with us but it means that its by invitation and which means we have to do a little bit more pre-planning before the meetings to get these people that we need to answer questions for us here. I just think it cleans up the whole thing to have it set up this way but as I mentioned several times you know you people some of you said that you don’t see it necessary to change a rule specifically and others of you have told me that you think it’s a good idea. So lets just bring it forward for a vote and see if passes or if it doesn’t.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – Okay, do we have any new or miscellaneous business Councilman Lewis?

COUNCILMAN LEWIS – Yes, I just have a question on this I should have probably gotten this back in #12 but we had our budget meeting today and we hadn’t have another one scheduled however we are starting to run short on the calendar is it safe to say that we would like Mr. Koher here on the 25th and we will discuss it at the work session as well instead of waiting two weeks?

COUNCILMAN PETERS – Yeah, you can definitely assume that if you recall Mr. Koher is going to call me tomorrow afternoon we were going to set that up. So…

COUNCILMAN LEWIS – Just wanted to kind of put that out there.

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – Okay, I would also like remind everyone our work session for next week falls on November 25th.

17. REMARKS OF DELEGATIONS AND CITIZENS TO ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA

COUNCIL PRESIDENT TOWNSEND – We have now arrived at item 17 this is the part of the agenda if you’d like to speak on a topic which does not appear on the agenda please this is the time to come up and approach the microphone and give your name and address and the topic you wish to discuss.
